The African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) - Localise Software sub-project is excited to announce a call for language teams to localise software into ten African languages.

ANLoc Localise Software sub project is embarking on a new localisation initiative and is urgently seeking language teams.
The goal of the Localise Software sub-project is to localise existing Open Source projects into ten African languages.

The ten language teams will be assisted with a small team of technical experts, who will help them with the different localisation processes for each of the software they will be localising.
